Jane turned her head fast and looked at Benjamin. “So, you were saying…” He looked into Rebecca’s eyes. “It’s Benjamin Wolfe. That’s my real name.” A second of silence passed, not counting the noise of the breeze and the sounds of the street. “So much suspense for nothing,” Jane blurted out. “Aren’t both the names almost the same?”

Rebecca stayed silent, but she was feeling a lot better now. After all, she was so glad to hear that his real first name was Benjamin, a name which had a special place in her heart, one which she had grown attached to.

It wasn’t an amount Benjamin couldn’t pay, but it was still equal to two to three months of his salary, so she felt bad for making him spend now. To add to that, Benjamin paid 400 dollars in tips.
